My family is my strength and my weakness." - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Paige's POV

So there I was: Walking home. Alone. When the sun was starting to set. In Sunnydale. A town I barely knew.

Good judgement, right?

After my run-in with Cordy, I ended up waking around aimlessly for a few hours, looking for anyone that might be a vengeances demon.

So here I was, walking alone. I had just turned the corner, when all of a sudden, these three vamps jumped out at me.

I have to admit, it scared me a little. But after the initial shock was over, I was in full-on fighting mode.

It was when I had gotten knocked down a second time, that I noticed I wasn't alone. I heard someone else, someone fighting with me. I immediately scrambled off the ground to help them. I staked one vamp, and I had barely turned around when the mystery person staked the other two.

When the dust finally cleared, I saw who it was.

My eyes widened. "Oh look, it's Buffy Summers." I laughed nervously.

I heard footsteps and turned around again.

Joyce and Dawn where running down the sidewalk.

"And her whole family, yaaaaay." I was even more nervous now.

My mother, who wasn't actually my mother, and grandmother and aunt who weren't actually my grandmother and aunt were gonna be so mad at me.

Wait, did that even make sense?

When they finally got to where we were, they, including Buffy, all uttered one single word to me: "Paige?"

"Hi." I waved shyly.

"What in the world are you doing out here at this hour?" Joyce asked, genuinely concerned.

"Uhhhh."

"W-what in the world are you doing out here at this hour?" I retorted.

Joyce rolled her eyes. "You sound like you've been hanging out with my girls."

Mom and Dawn both turned to their Mom, apparently offended. "Hey!"

"I was walking home."

Dawn crossed her arms. She could act like a mother if she wanted to. "At 6:30 at night?" She asked skeptically.

I crossed my arms too. "Yes."

"We can walk you home." Joyce offered.

"I-"

"Mom," Buffy said, before I got a chance to reply, "You and Dawnie go home. I'll walk with her."

"Alright." Joyce sighed, sounding like she was defeated.

"Bye Paige." They both said.

"Bye!" I said, and ran to give each of them a quick hug. They happily obliged.

"So," Buffy said after they left and we had turned the corner, "what exactly is a girl like you doing out at night?-"
